Phnom Penh (VNA) – A ceremony marking the 39th anniversary of the Kampuchean United Front for National Salvation (KUFNS) (December
2), now the Solidarity Front for the Development of Cambodia Motherland (SFDCM),
took place in Phnom Penh on December 2.

Speaking at the event, President of the Cambodian National
Assembly Samdech Heng Samrin said the KUFNS not only saved Cambodia from Pol
Pot genocide regime but also supported national development in all aspects.

The KUFNS was established in Snuol district, Kratie province
on December 2, 1978 when Cambodia was under Khmer Rouge genocide regime. Under
the leadership of Heng Samrin, Chea Sim and Hun Sen, the KUFNS gathered people
from all walks of life with the support of the Vietnamese voluntary soldiers to
bring about the January 7, 1979 victory, eliminating the genocidal region thereby
bringing peace and independence to the nation.
